PLOW-HANDLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 252,722, dated January 24, 1882.

Application filed December 10, 1881. (ModeL) To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WM. P. BROWN, a citizen of the United States, resident at Zanesville, in the county of ,Muskingum and State of Ohio, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Plow-Handles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being bad to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is are presentation ot' a perspective of my plow-handle brace. Fig. 2 is a side view, and Fig. 3 is a view showing the brace attached to a plow.

This invention has relation to the bracts for the handles of plows, cultivators, seeders, and

other im pltments needing such supports; and it consists in the construction andnove'l arrangenn nt in the upper end of the brace of a curved slot having a shouldered bend in its intermediate portion for engagement with the bolt which connects the handle thereto, as hereinafter set forth.

In the annexed drawings the letter A designatesthe beam oftheploworotherimplement, to which the lower end of the brave B is connccted by means of a bolt, G, passing through or it may be forked so as to embrace the'beanl.

- made in the slot, as indicated at The slot is usually made in hook form, having a rearward extension, L, and a forward and downwardextension, N, as indicated in the drawings. The handle is connected to the brace by means of a bolt, P, which passes through the curved slot and is adjustable therein. The bolts 0 and P, whereby the brace is connected to the beam and handle, are provided with nuts and washers, so that they can be easily loosened and tightened.

The stem S of the brace may be made single,

When the nuts are loosened alittle the handle can be, readily adjusted to theheight required; or it can be lowered alongside the beam, so that it will take up but little room, comparatively, in storage or transportation.

Having described this invention, what- I claim, and desire tosecureby Letters Patent,

1. The combination, with the handle E, beam A, and bolts 0 and P, of the hainlle-brace B, having a curved slot in its upper end, formed 1 with an intermediate shouldered bend or bearing, substantially as specified.

2. The handle-brace B, having at its upper end the curved slot F, formed with an intermediate shouldered bend, G, a rear extension, L, and a forward and downward eXtension,N, substantially asspecitied.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

. WILLIAM P. BROWN.
